You could show them off to your friends and family.
They could sit in the background of important business deals.
You’d constantly be able to look at the beautiful art.
Or the iconic Moment that the NFT represents.
Introducing NIFTED. A company that creates beautiful physical display screens to showcase NFTs.
They’ve been around since 2021, selling out their original Desk Series Display.
They are also an official Dapper Studio Ecosystem project.
Now NIFTED are launching their Narwhals NFTs.
The Nifted Narwhals NFT is your ticket to purchasing their HYPE 32 Inch Wall Series Display at a lower, fixed price ($650).
The mint price is 0.05 ETH and the allowlist drop is scheduled to take place in 3-4 weeks. That’s right the mint is on Ethereum. But the display is compatible with Dapper Wallet Flow NFTs too.

The NFT also has additional utility including:
Priority access and potential discounts to future Nifted displays
Early access to new Nifted products

📱 The Flow ecosystem is leaping into mobile
One of Flow's top 2023 ecosystem priorities? Going mobile.
Most Web3 applications limit users to desktop experiences…
Or a subpar mobile experience.
Despite nearly 60% of web traffic coming from mobile.
Well The Flow ecosystem is on a mission to fix this. And make blockchain experiences more accessible, engaging, and user-friendly.
Let's look at the mobile initiatives across the Flow Ecosystem
NBA Top Shot released their mobile app in early 2023
Raiders Rumble’s competitive mobile strategy game launched, with a 120,000 FLOW token prize pool 🎮
Flow’s first hackathon spotlighted mobile projects. A $100,000 prize pool was awarded to winner’s of the mobile stream.
Wonder Arena won the mobile track. They took home $30,000 for their engaging mobile game
Hybrid Custody Meets Mobile 📱
The move towards mobile integration aligns with the hybrid custody movement.
Hybrid custody opens up opportunities for in-app purchases of Flow NFTs on mobile devices.
Existing Flow Mobile Apps
Prior to 2023, already some established Flow projects had released mobile applications.
Including Flovatar, Seussibles, Genies, Solitaire Blitz, Trickshot Blitz, Zigazoo, and Everbloom.

Key takeaways: Flow’s the blockchain for the mainstream. The normies. And the mainstream is on mobile. With NBA Top Shot and other groundbreaking projects at the helm, the future of Flow on mobile is looking bright.
📊 Data of the Week: Over 100 Flow NFT drops in 2023
This year, there has been more than 100 Flow NFT drops from 26 different projects.
And we’re only a few months in.
Here’s a closer look at the insights:
🏆 Sports-themed Projects Lead
The top projects dropping the most NFTs are:
FanCraze Cricket (20 drops)
RaceDay NFT (16 drops)
NBA Top Shot (14 drops)
NFL All Day (8 drops)
The Football Club (8 drops)
What do they all have in common?
They’re all Sports projects. Sports continues to dominate on Flow.
Digging in deeper we see there are two varieties of sports NFTs:
Moment NFTs (video highlights) and digital memorabilia like jerseys and commemorative tickets.
🔄 NFT Pack Drops Model
The pack drop model is prevalent. The projects selling the most NFTs sell them in packs, which has a benefit of generating ongoing revenue.
AFL Mint (4 drops), La Liga Golazos (4 drops), and MFL (4 drops) also have high drop numbers, supporting this trend.
🎭 Outside of Sports
Beyond sports, Unblocked (music, art), Cryptoys (collectibles), Starly (art), and TuneGo (music) have dropped multiple NFTs.
🔢 The Median
The median drop price in FLOW tokens is 19 FLOW, while the median supply is 200.
Out of the Flow NFT drops in 2023, 17 sold out.
Note: These sold out reported figures might be understated.
💡 Final Thoughts
The NFT drop trend in 2023 is going strong, as sports projects and the pack drop model continue to dominate on Flow.
